Let's say your data is in Sheet1 (e.g Column A and B).
And the formula you want to write is "B1" in the sheet below and your formula is calculated based on the 1st day of the month. If so, you can try as below.
A B
1 1/2/2022 =MAXIFS(Sheet1!B:B, Sheet1!A:A,">="&A1, Sheet1!A:A,
"<="&eomonth(A1,0)
2 1/3/2022 drag down formula above
3 1/4/2022 drag down formula above

Or, do you want the max of exactly the first date occured in the month?
For e.g if there are 5/2/2022, 16/2/2022 and 20/2/2022 in Feb 2022, what you want is max of 5/2/2022. Please let me know.

hello Starrysky1988

thanks a lot for your reply.

hmm...not sure it's like this...

in fact i would have in sheet1 , column A and B, this

A B

16/02/2022	3
16/02/2022	1
16/02/2022	2
19/03/2022	5
20/04/2022	2
20/04/2022	1

and then in Sheet2 this ...

01/02/2022 and i have to populate column B with 3

01/03/2022 5

01/04/2022 2

In the meantime i see my colleague created an intermediate sheet... let's call it Sheet3 ... where he shows only 1 occurence of the date

A B

16/02/2022

19/03/2022

20/04/2022

so i created in column B of Sheet3 a formula like MAXIFS(Sheet1!A:A,Sheet1!B:B,$A1)

Where A1 is date 16/02/2022. and this seems to give me the maximum value when i have several times the same date. I end up with

A B

16/02/2022 3

19/03/2022 5

20/04/2022 2

but then in sheet 3, imagining for 1 month i have several weeks that are reported with their maximum like this

09/02/2022 23

16/02/2022 3

23/02/2022 10

I still don't understand how i can have in sheet2 , the maximum value corresponding to 1 month

01/02/2022

01/03/2022

01/04/2022

which for 01/02/2022 (if i take the previous example) would be 23

is it clearer ?

Thanks a lot for your time

Dear Kaddrik,

What you want is maximum value for the whole month, then please see my previous reply.

It is for the whole month.

For individual date in the month, you can use your formula. Thanks
